Niagara Security

Overview
Niagara Security by Tridium, is an open, web-based security
management solution that allows you to manage and monitor your
facility anytime, anywhere. Built on Tridium’s NiagaraAX Framework ®,
Niagara Security integrates with any building automation system,
enabling you to control lighting, HVAC equipment, and other
building systems in response to access events and alarm conditions.
The heart of Niagara Security is the advanced IP-based controller
NIAGARA SECURIT Y

that eliminates the need for on-site PCs or thick client software.
Niagara Security enables authorized security administrators to manage credentials, access rights, access
control, intrusion detection and alarm monitoring via a web browser interface from anywhere.
Niagara Security is built on the NiagaraAX Framework, the industry’s leading automation infrastructure platform.
This allows integration with your building control system via BACnet, Lonworks, and Modbus, as well as supports
enterprise connectivity through XML, SNMP, oBIX and HTTP.

Powerful Integration Toolset

A comprehensive, integrated toolset is a fundamental part of the
Niagara Security offering. The graphical toolset enables non-
programmers (domain experts) to extend the capabilities of the
standard product.
Using the toolset, integrators can integrate Building Automation,
Energy Management, Lighting Control and a wide range of custom
solutions tailored to end user’s needs — all while working in a
powerful drag-and-drop, graphical programming environment.

Security Family of Products

The Niagara Security product family consists of a Security JACE controller, reader modules, and
I/O modules available in 3 different sized enclosures. The hardware modules support Wiegand
style readers, supervised inputs, Form C relay-controlled outputs, and digital inputs. Enclosures
are equipped with key lock, tamper switch, and the medium/large enclosures include a universal
power supply. Knockouts are provided on top, bottom and sides for external connections. The
enclosure interior has generous space for cable management.

Security JACE (T-SEC-602 or T-SEC-616)

Web-based, access control network controller that contains a web-server, embedded database,
and Niagara Security application software. The controller includes connectivity for 2 card
readers and additional I/O for door control or general purpose usage.
I/O Module (T-SEC-RIO)
Contains capacity for 8 supervised inputs and 8 Form C relay outputs. The I/O Module can be
utilized for monitoring intrusion sensors, elevator controls, or controlling doors which do not
require a card reader.
Reader Module (T-SEC-R2R)
Supports 2 Wiegand style card readers and required I/O to support 2 doors. The I/O supports a
door sensor, request-to-exit device, and strike for each door.
Universal I/O Module (T-IO-16-485)
Supports 8 Universal Inputs, 4 Form A Relay Outputs, and 4 0-10 VDC Analog Outputs. The
Universal I/O Modules can be utilized for monitoring analog inputs, providing analog control
signals, and providing relay contacts when interfacing to non-security related equipment.
Note: Requires one port on the NPB-2X-485 option card not included with purchase.

Intrusion Arming Keypad (T-SEC-INT-KP)

LCD display and keypad for arming and disarming Intrusion Zones. Display also provides
feedback to the user regarding arming status and status of individual intrusion points.
Note: Requires one port on the NPB-2X-485 option card not included with purchase.
